Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with cornstarch. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and water to make the sauce.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the beef in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Work in batches if needed.
- Return the broccoli to the skillet with the beef. Pour the sauce over and toss everything to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Serve hot over rice or noodles.
